The Spirits Track: This is for the true student of the glass. Go deep into the technical heritage of global categories like Cognac and Pisco, explore distillation secrets with master producers, and refine your palate with curated tastings of rare expressions and new releases.
The Business Track: Build a career that lasts. These sessions tackle the "why" and "how much" of the industry—focusing on bar operations, sustainable business models, hospitality leadership, and maintaining physical and mental wellness for a long-term career.
